Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to optical frequency transfer, and in particular to an all-pass optical frequency transfer regenerative repeater system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-precision time and frequency standards play an important role in time and frequency metrology, satellite navigation, radio astronomy and fundamental physics research, and are important means for developing scientific research and safeguarding national defense. In many applications, high-precision frequency signals need to be transmitted to remote ends. In order to ensure that the frequency signals of the original sending end can be faithfully reproduced at the remote receiving end, a transfer means with higher precision than the optical frequency standard signal is indispensable.

[0003] In 2010, Lopez et al. of University of Paris 13 in France used a cascaded transmission scheme to transmit optical frequency signals. The 300 km long fiber link was composed of two 150 km links, and the noise of each link was compensated by a respective phase-locked loop. The two links were connected by a relay station, which included a receiving end, a regenerative amplifier, and a transmitting end. The signal from the upper link was amplified by the regenerative amplifier in the relay station and then transmitted to the lower link by the transmitting end. The regenerative amplifier achieved optical amplification by phase-locking the regenerative laser source to the phase of the transmitted light. This amplification technique had a gain of over 50 dB and a bandwidth of several kHz to several tens of kHz. Its unidirectional nature made it suitable for relay amplification or end-of-link amplification. The cascaded transmission of the phase-controlled segments improved the phase control bandwidth and transmission accuracy of the entire link, and the transmission stability reached 5E-20 / 20 hours.[See Lopez O, Haboucha A, Kéfélian F, Jiang H, Chanteau B, Roncin V, Chardonnet C, Amy-Klein A, Santarelli G. Cascaded multiplexed optical link on a telecommunication network for frequency dissemination. Opt Express. 2010 Aug 2;18(16):16849-57. doi: 10.1364 / OE.18.016849. PMID: 20721077.] In 2012, the French group conducted a 540 km two-stage cascaded optical frequency transmission. The link used six bidirectional EDFA and an optimized relay station optical path structure. The entire transmitted light from the upper link was used for regenerative amplification, and a small part of the regenerated light was returned to the upper level for noise detection. Since the returned light power was much larger than the previous scheme, not only did it improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the in-loop signal of the upper level, but it also expanded the single-stage transmission distance. Finally, they achieved a transmission stability of 3E-19 / 30000s (10 Hz measurement bandwidth).[See Lopez 0, Haboucha A, Chanteau B, Chardonnet C, Amy-Klein A, Santarelli G. Ultra-stable long distance optical frequency distribution using the Internet fiber network. Opt Express. 2012 Oct 8;20(21):23518-26. doi: 10.1364 / OE.20.023518. PMID: 23188314.] In 2015, the French group achieved a total length of 1480km four-stage cascaded optical fiber optical frequency transfer, a total of 3 relay stations and 16 bidirectional EDFA were used in the link, by controlling the phase of each link segment, a transfer stability of 2E-20 / 8000s was achieved. [See Chiodo N, Quintin N, Stefani F, Wiotte F, Camisard E, Chardonnet C, Santarelli G, Amy-Klein A, Pottie PE, Lopez 0. Cascaded optical fiber link using the internet network for remote clocks comparison. Opt Express. 2015 Dec 28;23(26):33927-37. doi: 10.1364 / OE.23.033927. PMID: 26832051.]. SUMMARY
